About the Club

Founded by Philip Lee in 2001, Pembroke Fencing Club was set up to provide hobbyists and competitive fencers alike the opportunity to learn, improve in and enjoy the historic sport of fencing.

The clubs first coach was Evgeny Kazantsev of Kazahstan, who made a great effort to bring fencing to a much wider range of participants, including the setting up of one of the only dedicated junior sections in Ireland in 2004.

In 2007 the club engaged Olga Velma, right, an Estonian coach and fencing master with many years of experience
